Will I ever agree with the results of a Comics Best of awards thing?
Seemingly no.
How the hell is Y the Last Man 60 a best of anything? Its not bad, but best?
Dave Stewart's best work is better than Laura Martin's worst work, but his best work is not better than Laura's best. Maybe Laura needs to do more dark broody colors and narrow her palette to win a coloring award.
